The City has contracted with the Group Insurance Commission of Massachusetts (GIC) to provide health insurance beginning January 1, 2014. You can expect to received your new card by the 3rd or 4th week of December. If you have not received your card from the health insurance provider you chose by January 15, 2014, please contact Joanne Lagrant at 413-587-1256.

Your health insurance vendor may send an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to your home each time they receive a claim on your behalf that is subject to an eligible co-pay. If you don't receive it within two months of service, please contact your health insurance provider and request the EOB. When you receive the EOB that shows your inpatient or outpatient surgery co-pay, bring that EOB into Human Resources to request a reimbursement.
